The Christmas bonus will be paid on December 17 to 2.2 million households

Not indexed to inflation, its amount, 152.45 euros, will remain the same as in 2023 for a single person.

Good news for the most modest. The Christmas bonus will be paid to recipients of minimum social benefits on December 17, the government announced on Tuesday, November 26. This exceptional end-of-year bonus saw its minimum amount set in 2024 at 152.45 euros.

“All beneficiaries of the active solidarity income (RSA), the specific solidarity allowance (ASS), the fixed bonus for resumption of activity and the retirement equivalent allowance (AER) will benefit from it. It will be paid automatically December 17, 2024, the week before the Christmas holidays”detailed the Ministries of Solidarity, Autonomy and Equality between Women and Men, that of Labor and Employment and their counterpart responsible for the Budget and Public Accounts, in a press release.

It is allocated to more than 2.2 million households. Not indexed to inflation, its amount, 152.45 euros, will remain the same as in 2023 for a single person in mainland France and in the overseas departments, excluding Mayotte. The amounts of the premium for households receiving RSA are progressive depending on the composition of the family, for example a couple with two children will receive 320.15 euros.
